I don't know if this is a school assignment or not, but know that we do not do assignments for students! Zylum made a very nice looking fireworks program a while ago. Search for it in the Turing Source Code forum (hint: use the search feature at the top). (If you can't find it, check the Turing Applications forum as well. Though I'm pretty sure it was source code he submitted.) Lastly, if this is a school assignment and you do find Zylum's code and you hand it in as your own or use parts of it without crediting him and telling your teacher such when it's marked, there can be large consequences. |

Zylum is a member of this community. You can contact him through a PM or maybe so forward as to add him to your MSN. If you want to PM him, go to your private messages inbox, click new post, and type in Zylum as the user name. Also, you need a more descriptive subject name. Read the announcement in this forum entitled "--> READ THIS FIRST <--". |

It is the same guy, and he has broken like every rule of compsci already. |

It is a figure of speach he has posted topic's called help me and he has asked for peopel to give him code, those aren't all the ruels but they are the two most fundamental ones. |

Speaking of rules, no spam is one of them. Posts like, axej wrote: i geuss
and axej wrote: i guess
 and axej wrote: not sure
and axej wrote: cool
and numerous others are against the rules. Think about your post before you post. Is it going to benefit anybody? Or does it just waste badwidth? Is it a needless one-liner (or two-worder, no less!)? I know you're new here, so ther will be no bit raping this day. This is a warning. |

You see, the problem is, even if you do agree, there is no need to just post that. If you are going to post, try to keep it to at least 2 meaningful thoughts. And by meaningful I don't mean: "It's good! better than anything I could ever do." "Yes, it's good." "That is horrible, way too flashy." anything better than that should be good enough. Maybe do something like this: "Not too good, way too flashy. Try learning View.Update and offscreenonly. Look in the tutorials section for what to learn next." |

I have a Question why are there so many noobs learnign turing so late in the year. I have like 2 weeks left. Choice 1: they have been learning the how year but ISU's have come and its cram time. Choice 2: they have a differnet school system. Choice 3:they just founf this site. |

Could be TIK2O students. Some schools/teachers only spend about a month on Turing near the end of the year. |

I agree, that's something around what my school does for this course. Also, why is it that these people who come from the same school/class (not just the people in this topic) feel like they have to flame and put down each other? Does everyone hate each other? Or are you competing for marks? |

it is isu time, nyet i only started learning turing two weeks ago. that's because we are in grade 10 comp engineering where programming is the shortest unit in the curriculum. plus, i havent asked for help yet 8) im also only thirteen which means that you shouldn't be flaming or dissing or burning me cause im so much youger than you |

That's to say, I'm sure there are many 13 year olds on this site. And I'm sure that you don't feel bad when you "burn" and "dis" your other friends, right? Well, maybe it's not you doing it, but I'm sure it happens. Also, isn't grade 10 for 14-16 year olds? Did you skip a grade or somehting? Last question, out of curiosity, what were your other units in Grade 10 Computer Engineering? |

Last question, out of curiosity, what were your other units in Grade 10 Computer Engineering? it's not the same when i burn and dis my friends since thy're older or the same age as me. yes i did skip a grade. you see what happened is this: i skpped grade one and went to a gifty school then i skipped grade 8 and took grade nine, but i didn't take all of the credits since the school only allowed 6 subjects per yaer. the i switched to a public shool, but i stayed in grade nine, but i didn't want to repeat any couses so now im taeking mostly grade ten courses while still being in grade nine, so i graduate a year early instead of two years and i get more highschool credits. the other units in comp engine are: networking hardware number systems programming interfacing |

yea, what did everyone take for gr 10 compsci? i never took it.. to boring but they did vb - i dunno why... flash - this was an amazing idea... but yeh, they never ever touched on turing, which is why most ppl goign from gr 10 to 11 get messed, since they went from total GUI to almost never using GUI and only getting taught it at the very end if at all... kind dumb in my opinion... nyone else??? |

Axej, Because we're older (some of us much much older) doesn't mean we should go easy on you. It means that you need to try harder to learn how things work around here. If we treat you like a child you will never be equal, if you figure out the rules than you can be an equal even though you're younger than Amailer. As far as the grade 10 class goes; Students don't need 10 to take eleven so if you do Turing in both you will bore the repeat offenders stiff as you introduce the Basics. VB gives a great intro to programming and is usefull even if they take no more classes. |

i dunno, personally i feel vb is like cheating in programming.. it's WAY to much o a microsoft spin off.. what with the easy GUI settings and everything,... soo user friendly.. and turing is like almost the opposit, with GUI being a pain in the ass... i meen, i personally think they should introduce turing in gr 10.. and end with flash,then go Java in 1 and go straight into C++ for 12.. this would get pplready for university more then turing and java... or maybe, have like a side cours for gr 12's, which is severly excellerated.. (lets be honest.. the 3 weeks we spent on variables and loops was a bit of a waste) and after like finishing the C++ do like 2 weeks of BASIC intro to assembly, cause my firned in second year comp sci at waterloo .. is lie.. everything is like pearl, C++ java or assembly... lol so learning turing is kinda good.. great to intro ppl to concepts of records and stuff.. but i hate it when it comes to classes and tru OOP .... but meh my humble opinion.. not like ny board wil make changes according to me lol |

That would be one nice line-up of courses. BUT there is a problem you can't have all those like that becasue except for a few teachers, they all teach straight form a book and really never learned any language. only turing and lesser languages can be taught form a book wihtour previous knowledge. I wish teachers could be able to teach all that stuff, but it would cost the government money which they don't have with the 4.5 billion dollar debt left to them by the tories. |

lol gosh darn tories... no but i dunno about everyone else, but my comp sci teacher is awesome.. he learned everything, he did the programming thing in a company for a while.. i think like Iomega r sumthing.. got bored and decideed to teach lol that would be a sick lineup... get you REALY ready for university.. but shmeh, i doubt enough ppl would take the course nyway... o well |

does it? i haven't really been pressured into doing anything except that time when i deleted some @$$hole's account from the school network. he used this message thing and it popped up a message right when the teacher was checking my program. then the teacher gave me five detentions and deprived me of three of my lunches.(my teacher's cool but he gives detentions in "bundle packs") |

That's why I think they should do Turing in grade 10 as introduction for those who want it, then make grade 11 and 12 C++ starting from scratch. I guess Turing in 10 then Turing/Java in 11 and Java in 12 is alright too, but I would like it better if they stuck to C++. |

C++ and java are actually used in real progarammin.. Turing is never used outside of school.. ever same with VB.. honestly how many professional products can you name that have been made with VB? none! i say, start in ten with turing, 11 have java / BASICS C++ if time 12 C++ that way we are reayd for universuty, or even have a heads up on everything, not that we get there and it's yet another language to learn |

Or we could start in Grade 10 with a practical, but still fairly easy language like Python, and just do away with Turing altogether. The problem is finding teachers who know these languages. |

well thats the thing, turing when it comes down to it, can be fairly useful language.. it teaches all of the basics, it even gets into true OOT with classes and it is fairly simple, and can be great for showing code efficiency... but i dunno.. plus the great part is it CAN get taught straight from a text book |
